Additional Details

The TLV-817-B typically operates with a forward voltage of approximately 1.8 to 2.2 volts and a forward current of around 20 milliamperes. The specific luminous intensity varies depending on the manufacturer's specifications and the operating conditions. The LED is commonly packaged in a through-hole or surface-mount configuration for easy soldering onto printed circuit boards. The viewing angle of the emitted light is also a critical parameter to consider based on the application requirements. It is RoHS compliant, meaning it adheres to environmental regulations restricting the use of hazardous substances.

Datasheets should be consulted for specific values regarding forward voltage, current, luminous intensity and viewing angle for optimal and safe operation.
